Supervisor Thomas W. Wilson was honored Wednesday by the Kiwanis Club of Laguna Niguel for his years of public service and assistance in raising awareness about a rare disorder that can cause mental retardation in children.
Wilson, a former Laguna Niguel councilman, was presented with the George F. Hixon award at a ceremony. It is the highest award conferred by Kiwanis.
The club will donate $1,000 on behalf of Wilson to a program aimed at eliminating iodine deficiency disorders by 2000. Iodine deficiency is a leading preventable cause of mental retardation in young children.
